Royal Bank of Scotland developing Windows Phone app

The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has stated on Twitter that a Windows Phone app is currently in development and should be available soon. The establishment is a popular choice for consumers in the UK and an app for the platform will surely be welcomed by those who enjoy mobile banking while on the go.

@sharpmango Hi we are in the process of developing one, it will be ready soon. RL

RBS joins a number of banks across the globe who have already released apps for Windows Phone. Details on the RBS app are sketchy, but we can imagine it would support tight security, account management and fund transfer functionality. Natwest should also sport a similar solution with RBS being the parent group. We'll update with more information when available.

I don't know why everyone is so worried about not having a banking app. The phones now have good browsers so don't really need banking apps. I had the Lloyds app on my 5800 and still have it on my N8. It's still just as easy to log on the website.

I hope the Natwest app comes out at the same time. While I go into town every day right now, their online banking is an absolute pain - going to need to keep a closer eye on finances after splurging £300 on a Lumia 920 too.

I came to the comments just to agree. I am hoping WPCentral can send RBS a reply on our behalf to urge them to encourage their U.S. branches to make use of the frameworks developed for this app. Thanks for bringing this up. I have been long awaiting a Charter One app.
